Steps

  1. Open CARB's Table of VOC Limits page at ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/coatings/architectural-coatings/table-voc-limits and download the Excel table
  2. Look up the coating category (e.g., flat, nonflat, primer/sealer/undercoater, industrial maintenance) to find its regulatory limit in grams VOC per liter
  3. Distinguish 'VOC regulatory' (VOC coating, less water and exempt compounds) from 'VOC actual' (VOC material, including water and exempts) using CARB's VOC Calculator on the same page if converting between the two
  4. Check whether a local air district (e.g., South Coast AQMD) has a stricter limit than the statewide CARB Suggested Control Measure for the same category
